Shane's boss overheard a few of the conversations that took place yesterday between Shane and the craigslist seller and Shane and myself, then he (the boss) offered up a mower that he doesn't use. The mower truly is nearly new, it just doesn't suit his rather picky boss, and it's at the right price, about 1/3 of new. The boss is looking for a little ready cash to help "recover" from his recent vacation spending.<br /><br />So, the mower is in our possession and all is well. Once in a while this boss-guy comes through. Then again, Shane just called me for driving directions to a job site. Shane lost site of his boss while following him, and when he called for directions, the boss refused to give them. <br /><br />Men!Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-77077054037146922202010-07-26T16:53:48.324-05:002010-07-26T16:53:48.324-05:00LOL...not Shame....SHANE!

He can lend, in fact he can offer the man doesn't even need to be asked for a lend of something, without any bother at all but he just can't bring himself to borrow things. It must be a male pride thing, like the way they can't ask for directions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340429187911872470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-80169295466132244762010-07-26T12:43:53.093-05:002010-07-26T12:43:53.093-05:00I hear hot weather makes people do stupid things. ...I hear hot weather makes people do stupid things.

Sometimes the repair shops sale refurbished lawn mowers. You might also check the want ads and freecycle.<br /><br />I hope the garden sales start early this year!Alea Milhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549333388945700712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-86813631732885751682010-07-26T12:18:44.031-05:002010-07-26T12:18:44.031-05:00That just sucks.

I haven't gotten anything from Craigslist, but know that there are flaky people everywhere.<br /><br />Heck, I have had no shows for stuff I gave away on Freecycle. I was giving it away and they could not bother to show up or even call and cancel. <br /><br />I feel your pain!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.com
